However, many struggle to embed this process into their organizations DNA. As part of the Wiley and SAS Business Series, Business Transformation: A Roadmap for Maximizing Organizational Insights helps CEOs, CFOs, CMOs, CIOs, and business leaders better understand how to promote business analytics within their organizations and use it to develop a roadmap for success. SAS has developed an Information Evolution Model (IEM) to aid organizations in assessing how they use information to drive business. The goal of Business Transformation is to explain how IEM can be used, together with analytics, to develop successful strategies. The key is aligning the organizations pillars to evolve the maturity level of organizations.
